What is ShipStation?
ShipStation is the leading multi-carrier shipping platform for ecommerce, connecting online sellers to over 180 carriers and marketplaces through a single interface. Founded in 2011 and now part of Auctane, ShipStation processes millions of shipments daily for over 130,000 merchants.
The platform’s core value proposition is simplification. Rather than managing separate accounts with FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL, ShipStation provides one dashboard to compare rates, generate labels, and track shipments.
ShipStation’s automation capabilities extend beyond basic shipping. Rules engines can automatically select carriers based on package weight, destination, or order value. Branded tracking pages keep customers informed with your company’s look and feel.
For brands working with 3PL partners, ShipStation often serves as the order management hub.
